Thank you for testing it.

It's actually a wonder there aren't conflicts. I can't imagine that
every developer actually takes the time to check if all of the
key-combinations in their programs will work without conflicts in any
possible environment their programs might find themselves in.

Also, I don't know about everybody else, but I get awfully nervous
any time a program allows me to come up with my own key-combinations
for things. There's the worry that any combination you come up with
may already exist and be overwritten by your new one. Then, hand in
hand with that one, there's the moment where you have to decide
whether to either try the combination first (risky) or look it up in
all possible locations (nearly impossible or at least very
time-consuming). I usually just abstain.
